It doesn't take but a glance at the headlines to quickly conclude we live in a violent world
over which we often feel we have no control. I applaud the Feb. 13
Dispatch article “Lenten diets shift focus to health, compassion.”

Giving up meat for Lent is as old as forever. Hopefully, for the planet, the treatment of farm
animals and one's own health, many Christians will incorporate a plant-based diet into their
lifestyles year-round.

As for the violent world we live in, please bear in mind, “Violence starts with the fork.”
